OPERATION
CROSS COUNTRY 300
ENGINE CONTROLS:
9. STOP / (LOW IDLE/RUN) /
(HIGH IDLE/RUN) SWITCH-
Toggling the switch to the RUN position energizes the engine
prior to starting.
Has three positions as follows:
1) In the “High” position , the engine runs at the high idle
speed controlled by the governor.
2) In the “Auto” / position, the idler operates as
follows:
a. When switched from “High” to “Auto” or after starting the
engine, the engine will operate at full speed for approximately
12 seconds and then go to low idle speed.
b. When the electrode touches the work or power is drawn for
lights or tools (approximately 100 Watts minimum) the engine
accelerates and operates at full speed.
c. When welding ceases and the AC power load is turned off, a
fixed time delay of approximately 12 seconds starts.
d. If the welding or AC power load is not restarted before the end
of the time delay, the idler reduces the engine speed to low
idle speed.
e. The engine will automatically return to high idle speed when
the welding load or A.C. power load is reapplied.
3) The “Stop” position stops the engine.
10. START SWITCH-
Energizes the starter motor to crank
the engine.
11. GLOW PLUG PUSH BUTTON-
• When pushed activates the glow plugs. Glow plug should not
be activated for more than 20 seconds continuously.
12. DASH BOARD GAUGE-
The dash board gauge displays 5 gauges:
12a. OIL PRESSURE
The gauge displays the engine oil pressure when the
engine is running.
12b. ENGINE TEMPERATURE
The gauge displays the engine coolant temperature.
12c. HOUR METER
The hour meter displays the total time that the engine
has been running. This meter is a useful indicator for
scheduling preventive maintenance.
12d. FUEL LEVEL
Displays the level of diesel fuel in the fuel tank.
The operator must watch the fuel level closely to
prevent running out of fuel and possibly having to
bleed the system.
12e. BATTERY VOLTAGE INDICATOR
Displays the battery voltage and indicates that the
charging system is functioning properly.
13. CIRCUIT BREAKER-
For protection of Battery Charging
Circuit.
